Little programming update for everyone: I’ve accepted a new job, which means two very important things. The first of course is here (yes, this post is 99% an excuse to link to that song, because come on, its awesome), the second is that the new position means going into an office again vs the current situation of working from home five days a week. And as we all know, breaks during office time is prime blogging time, so expect more posts here in mid-late September.

What will be posted here remains a mystery. I’m not currently playing an MMO, though the upcoming beta for Camelot Unchained has sparked some interest, and eventually Crowfall is going to happen… right? I do need to return to posting more about CoC/CR, especially since interesting things are happening in both. And then I’ve continued to play a bunch of single players games, the most recent being Battletech (excellent). There are also a bunch of games set to come out of Early Access, like Rimworld. Stonehearth actually came out of EA a few weeks ago as well, and I’d like to post updates on those titles and how well the whole EA process went.

Oh yea and expect a ton of Mount and Blade: Bannerlord posts when that game is released… in what is looking like 2050. I just checked Steam and I added Bannerlord to my wishlist Nov 2016. The game is still not in playable beta with no announced release date…

The EA process? As in previewing a cornerstone title that was hyped as WW2 with a trailer that was designed to appeal to no one but make EA look all politically correct and stuff, then having the lead designer tweeting “hey if you don’t like what you see don’t buy our game” – leading to his ‘leaving’ 2 months before release due to poor pre-order numbers?

Ah ok. I did watch that trailer, wasn’t thrilled. As for sales, I’d blame PUBG more than anything else. I think for many its hard to justify buying a full priced online shooter when everyone has PUBG already.

Well BF has always been in its own class and appealed to a large crowd that didn’t want the brutal realism of ARMA, but still wanted to play with era realistic tanks and planes and guns. Introducing a battle royale mode just this week (yay?) is desperation move. Anyways grats on the new job.
